People advocating more sustainable urban life are actually saying *everybody* should ride a bike. I agree we could greatly downsize our vehicles, but there is a widespread ignorance about the physical needs of elderly & disabled people. Some degree of independant mobility is an emotional need, too. To have to hire someone to deliever every bulky object or try to carry it on mass transit sounds like hell.

This topic has not been breached in a world of many ism's, but baby boomers are not strangers at fighting for change. I'm 74 years old and live in a senior building that is being mismanaged and there are vulnerable adults here. Those of us that are healthier have taken on the issues of mismanagement and slowly, with the collective wisdom we share, we are about about to take on the giant. My moto has been "Don't mess with old hippies".

Wow, can I tell you about ageism and sexism, which I fight every single day and causes me endless grief! Hey People Power United - PLEASE HAVE ME COME AND PERFORM AT YOUR NEXT GATHERING/BENEFIT/CELEBRATION, whatever event!

How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.

Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!

Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Dance Entertainer!

As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!

I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.

Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant globalists are SCAMMING and perpetrating!

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA!

Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.

Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!

There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!

I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.

My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!

Kudos to People Power United's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!

All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. https://virustruth.net

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!

MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!

NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!

TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!

NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

Sure, shunned at an old bar, but it was me that was old.

As a teenager, I definitely agree that ageism is a huge problem. But I can’t say I’m thrilled about Biden as president at all. Not just because of his age, but I do find it ironic that the average age in the country is 35 and our president is more than double that. Not that average is better per se. I just get frustrated that the people who are going to be here for the least amount of remaining time are making all the decisions for the world that we have to live in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not pro trump and will definitely vote Biden. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish our president was younger than my grandparents.

Im very much pro-youth and have high hopes for the younger generations. But there’s also a lot to be said for age earned wisdom. The best scenario is the combined efforts of all generations.

Some of the freedoms we fought for are being taken down by the far right. That’s not generational. It was some of theses oldies who fought for civil rights for people of color, women’s rights and gay rights. We ended the draft so that people had a choice to serve or not serve in the military. The ecology movement took off in the sixties.

There’s still a long way to go and there’ll be one step forward two steps back. It’s exhausting. Generation blaming is counterproductive and only isolates what needs to be a united force for change.

The actual science regarding climate change was discovered over twenty years ago and covered up by Exxon. Al Gore fought hard to get the word out but tithe forces of conglomerates drowned out his message. Had Gore won the election, more would’ve been done to mitigate the damage being done. Instead we got Bush who lied about Saddam Hussain having weapons of mass distraction and declared war on Iraq . Actually I’m not sure if he even declared it, or just invaded Iraq because the U.S. was bigger and more powerful. I wonder how much carbon is released with every bomb that goes off.

The changes and progress that needs to be made can only happen if we are united in our efforts. Young and old.

I too am disappointed in our older generation leaving our planet and nation in such a state. I also wish we had a huge diverse group of candidates that can meet the moment we are in. I also believe that Biden is not a progressive and must be pushed to lean left on policy. I do not believe we have the power to put a progressive candidate up for president. Yet. Which is one reason why People Power United was started. We must build progressive power.

As children we’re taunted by the “big kids” that we are just a “baby”. Those very kids taunting the younger kids that they’re babies are also being teased for being too young or told to get lost by the older kids.

So what is that supposed “perfect age”?

Twenties, while stressing about what to do next. Thirties, have you landed a career? Bought a house? What about kids? Forties? I’m middle aged. Fifties...

I remember thinking 65 was old. We were at Disneyland with my mom and dad. My mom went ahead of us while they were cordoning off the streets for the Disney Parade. The security guards had block me off so I couldn’t get to her and I said “I’ve got to get to my mom, she’s 65!” And they let me through.

Years later, when I was 65 I laughed at myself for thinking 65 was old. At 65 I was re-landscaping my parents back yard. Digging out years of weeds and overgrowth, and building raised garden beds for fruit and vegetables, and plenty of flowers.

I’m 70 now and I think I’m just starting to understand life. I’m starting to get the whole picture. I’m still not old, I’m starting to hit my stride.

I don’t think how long one has been living is of consequence. It’s what a person does with that life and what they have learned that determines their value.

So what does the age of our 2024 candidates matter? The most pertinent question is: Do we want a leader who has experienced the gamut of the what life offers. A person who understands

that life is not a game of monopoly to win at all costs.

This is the choice we have before us. A man of integrity who will act on what he thinks best for the country. Or a man who will wield the power of the presidency to enrich and empower himself. It’s that simple.

Bravo! I agree, age is a mindset, and we must champion integrity and public service vs greed and self dealing.

I'm 81 and I don't discriminate against those younger than me . . . even though some are wiser.

Look number one being female and a Veteran plus a AFGE Union Stewart where I'm employed plus being 72 years old. Granted days of respect is few and far between some days. Also being different nationalities does not help for respect from this generations now.

A very good topic, however, ck your facts, it was rolls of paper towels, not T-paper. More must be addressed concerning this ageism issue at multiple levels. These issues are broad and complicated but should not be ignored because it is inconvenient. Let us expand this inquiry.

Nothing amusing about the situation. There is plenty to take Trump to task on, he creates his own reflective humor offered by others, no need involving people who clearly are at a disadvantage and suffering.

Thank you for bringing this up. As a geriatric healthcare provider, I’ve been concerned that President Biden has been a severely victimized by ageism in the media for quite some time, it’s sickening.
